attempt to start cluster - hangs

[Petr Simik_1]

after restart server I was unable to form cluster.(Oracle + application running on HP 11.00 N-Class + Oracle 8.0.xx)
cmviewcl -v
Package starting (final state)
on stdby node I have in syslog: =( 22times Attempting to form a new cluster.)
Active node starts OK.
Do you have any hints what to check where to find point of failure???I did almost everything.

Hi,

How about the network connection between the cluster nodes ?

[John Poff]

Hi,

Your cluster daemons are all running successfully on both boxes?

Your network is configured and running correctly, including the heartbeat LAN? Both nodes can see and ping and resolve each other?

Which server was restarted, the primary node or the failover node?

[Petr Simik_1]

connections are OK ping to primary and secondary lans is OK.
SNMP daemon is runing on both nodes.

[Clemens van Everdingen]

Hi,

You said Oracle ! Was the cluster and oracle brought down correctly ?

If not is Oracle by any change in recovery mode ?

C.

[John Poff]

What about the cluster daemons?

cmclconfd
cmsrvassistd
cmcld
cmlvmd

etc.

P.S. Give my points to Clemens. ;)

[Petr Simik_1]

active was restarted due to wrong procedure of installing HP patch. Active one is now "
standby"

Hi,

It looks like your nodes are both up, but your package is having some issue with starting. Have you checked out the package log file for the SPpkg package? It will probably give you some good information.

Hi,

Thanks John ::))

Hi,

if you need more infos to debug your problem,
you can change serviceguard log level (in syslog.log) with the command:
#cmsetlog 2
where 2 is the level (0 by default), you canincrease the level with 3, 4 ... I think 2 is a good value after you'll have to many messages in syslog.log. (answer yes 2 times to the warning questions).
After debug step, use command:
#cmsetlog -r
to return to default level.

Bye, Jerome Swiniarski.

[Clemens van Everdingen]

Hi,

PACKAGE STATUS STATE PKG_SWITCH NODE
SPpkg starting starting disabled sp3-2
--------

Looks like package switch is disabled !

[John Poff]

Hey Clemens!

I like your new hat.

Congratulations!!!

Hi i tried to enable package switch - but this command hangs.

What does your package control log file says . I think you package is stuck running some run scripts . Do a ps -ef | grep on your run scripts or any other customised scripts . If you find them kill them . That would at least bring the package to an up state . after that try running your run scripts manually .

Hi,

Can you attach your package log file from /etc/cmcluster/pkg_name

Hope this helps.

[Petr Simik_1]

Thanks I am attaching /etc/cmcluster/sp../..cntl.log files.

[Ashwani Kashyap · Accepted solution]

Based on your logs , i think your package is hanging on ssinit startup . Try to kill that and see the statys of your package . If it comes up as started , try starting ssinit manually .
